The amount of anxiety I feel at this very moment is unreal. We picked the kids up yesterday and were so happy to see them. However, this morning it is apparent that we all need some time to transition...from being apart, to seeing our house 1/2 empty, to knowing that most of our stuff will be packed up and not seen for a month or so, to knowing that we only have one more week in a house we love, in a town we love, with friends we love, one more week at a lake we love with grandparents and an uncle we love, and one more week in our old home town we loved, with our other grandparents we love, and old friends we love...AND then moving to the other side of the world where we know nobody, and don't speak the language, and the culture, food, climate, political system is completely foreign to us.
I know that this is a great opportunity and a wonderful adventure, but I think we all felt all of this at the same time this morning. And wow, we all totally lost it at the same time this morning.
I know that I feel better getting this out. I hope I am giving the kids ample opportunity to get their fears and anxieties out as well. I never imagined that Max would be attending 3 school in 3 years and 2 for Izzy in 2 years. They are amazing children who have handled all of the recent change so well.
